MR.. SPIES BAD BREAK.
He SAYS THE CEREMONY Is ONLY AN
EMPTY P0RMALITY
And Will Not Change the Rsladon Between Him and
Miss Van Zandt-When the Time Comes all
Ceremony Will be Waived-ArS
Van Zandt Very Angry.

CHICAGO, January 20.-A reporter called
to-day at the Van Zandt residence, and
was received by Mrs. Van Zandt, who
said she would speak for her daughter.
Her attention was called to an interview
had with Spies, wherein he said After
all, the refusal to permit the ceremony
makes little difference. 1t is only mere
ceremony, an empty formality, and will
not change our relations in the least. The
young lady has too liberal ideas to be
affected by the despotic order much more
than myself am, and, with her acquies-
cence, remember, we will waive all cere-
monies, and, when the time comes, will
live rs husband and wife" Spies also
said that he was a believer in free love In
q spiritualisti2 form.
Mrs. Van !;andt's eyes flashed as she
said: 81 woull rather see my daughter ly-
ing dead before me than living Oh such
terms with any man. l would kill her
with my own hand first. If that is the
kind of man Spies is am glad we have
found it out in time"
Mrs. Van Zandt, speaking of the manner
in which she became acquainted with the
Anarchists, said: "We all work a great
deal among poor people; it has come to be
a sort of religion with all of us. | have
made many sacrifices myself in order to aid
them, and became first interested i'll the
Anarchists because | thought | could do
them good. Then | arrived at the belief
that they were innocent men, and | grew
to like Spies personally and thought was
doing his soul good. When | found. my
daughter loved Spies the thought of her
marrying him seemed dreadful ut first; but
it was her idea to marry him after he was
released. SO it went along by degrees and
we didn't see the consequences clearly"
In conclusiOa, Mrs. Van Iandt intimated
that measures would be taken to remove
her daughter fiOm the city for some time,
and said they EOuld probably remain away
until the Anarchist case was finally dis
posed of by the courts.
The radical 1embers of District Assem-
bly, "a last night condemned Sheriff Mat
sons conduct is IAN arbitrary exercise of
power, and his refusal to admit Miss Van
Zandt to her levers presence as brutal in
the extreme"

PAY GARSISHEED.

Controller Durham Orders the Pay OF
Two Congressman Withheld.
WASHINGTON, January 20.-SOmething
of a sensation was created yesterday, when
Scrgeant-at-Arms Leedom received an or.
der from Controller Durham, of the Treas
ury, ordering him to withhold the salaries
of Congressman Curtin, of Pennsylvania,
and Wade, of Missouri, alleging that they
are indebted to he Government ON accounts
not settled. IL the case of Mr.. Curtin, he
is charged with owing the Government
$9l4.33 on unsettled accounts while Minis
ter to Russia. Mr.. Curtin claims that he
does not owe cent of the claim, and that
this state of affairs is shown because of the
poor system OF keeping accounts ut the
Treasury. He Says he has not been given
the proper credits.
In Mr.. Wade,s case lie claims positively
the same thing. His unsettled account
grows out of his connection with the
Thirty-first Ohio regiment during the war,
as Lieutenant Of one of the companies.
He was detailed by the officer of the regi-
mrnt to act as diSbursing officer, when
the department here had no knowledge OF
his assignment lie was charged with sup
plies, which were all dishurSed under
orders, but the Treasury in making up the
accounts was not in possession of the fact
that he was q temporary disbursng
officer.
Mr.. Leedom said last night that he
would not recognize the Controllers order
without first consulting counsel. A few
years ago when q like attempt was made
To stop payment of the salary Of eX-Con-
gressman Ochiltree, it was decided that the
pay Of the Congressman could thus be with

New YORK, January 2O.-The coal
handlers strike continues without any
signs of either compromise by the CON-

POLITICIANS BARRED OUT.
Desperate Attempts to Capture the New

desperate 20 OdptuTe thc NOW
York Labor Convention.
New YORK, January 2O.-The adjourn
ed convention of the United Labor party
has been postponed until tomorrow evening,
when the delegates will again meet in
Clarendon Hall. Thus far the delegates
who represent both Knights of Labor and
Trades UnionistS-have acted harmonious
Iy, but certain ambitious individuals, it is
claimed, have endeavOred TO obtain control
of the convention for the evident purpose
of laying pipe for the next campaign. The
most earnest and sincere men have sue
ceeded in preventing their schemes from
being cOnsummated. Some good men
were very nearly barred out of the con-
venton by so-called Overzealous labor re-
formers.
One delegate said to-day: Desperate eff

affairs in the districts and in the city, fully
aware of the great change which the Labor
party has made, and knowing what q pow

in our ranks, but they have not succeeded.
To break up our convention is what the
political cliques want, for in that event
they will again have he field to them
selves, We have come to stay, and not

as things look ut present. The political
Schcmers must try some new dodge to kill

From other delegates il was aSCertaincd
that the conservatives from the Knights of
Labor and the independent trades union
lists have succeeded in keeping the 50. called
professional labor politicians from running
the Convention, and also kecpingin in check

New YORK, January 2O.-Dr. Aveling,

by note with the now historic twin sig
natures of DR.. Edward Aveling and Mrs.
Elanor Marx x-Ayeling ("daughter of Karl
Mark'). The epistlc contained compli-
mentary reference to the exposure Of his
financial talents, but failed to mention
why the writer had rushed into print with
ca5legram denials of an undisputable fact.

Cabalek is well-to-do carpenter living on
Independence street, near the city limits.
lie has had employment all winter, and
his oldest son has worked with him. This
morning he and his son went to work short
ly before seven o'clock. The mother, An
toinette, had been out Of temper at the
breakfast table, aud had refused to talk to
her husband. Directly after breakfast she
sent Henry, her l5-year-old son, to q gro,
cerS store near by, and still another son tC
milk depot. When they returned they
could not get into the house. Going into
the back yard they saw James, IL years
old, in the water closet bleeding from six.
teen wounds in the left side.
The boys hastened away and called theil
elder brother who had gone of with the
father, and returning, the three forced an
entrance to the house. They discovered
Tony, an eight-year-old girl, bleeding from
dozen cuts in her left side. On the flOol
near by were Mamie, five years old; AntO
inette, three years old, and Willie, three

three children, mortally injured two Others
and had then suicided. The two children
who were still alive were removed to a

AN INTERESTING CASE.
The Suit of Ira c. Post Against the h. &. o.
Decided I'm His Favor.

Special IuSgrum TO TIC Register.
CLARKsBURG, w. VA, January co.
In the Circuit Court yesterday an import
ant case was disposed OF. Some time in
July, 1856, it seems that Ira c. Post ship
ped his cattle from Bridgeport in this
county to the city OF Baltimore; procuring
a stock pass between those points for trips
both going and on return. 1t seems that
on returning TO Bridgeport Mr.. Post took
passage on through or express train,
aud failed to change cars at Grafton
To au accommodation which would stop
ut Bridgeport, way station, continuing
Oh the train on which he left Baltimore.
The conductor informed him that the train
he was on did not stop 1T Bridgeport and
requested Mr.. Post to pay the fare, fifteen
cents, from Bridgeport to Clarkesburg, the
next station at which it stopped, which
Mr.. Post refused to do and was elected
from the train; whereupon he instituted
suit against the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road Company for damages, and the Jury
rendered verdict this afternoon against
the defendant for the sum of 1891. IS. The
The suit was brought by the Hon. John j.
Davis, for Mr.. Post, and it was only
through mastery and eloquent efforts that
verdict against the railroad was at al
all reached. In fact the instructions OF
the Court were of character to scarcely
warrant the verdict and Mr.. Basel, whs
represented the corporation was confident
that the jury would find no damages what,
ever. A motion is now pending, the object
of which is TO set aside the verdict, the
rest of which must necessarily he uncer'
tain. However, the matter will he ap
pealed to the Supreme Court where likely
the whole proceedings will he nullified.
The efforts of counsel on both sides wer,
characterized with shrewdncss and much
legal acumcn.
The whole question, perhaps, however,
turns upon matter of fact, whether Mr.
Post actually made a tender of the fare he
fore the train was stopped, and it is some
what likely that the defendants will not
be able to avail itself of the law points, q.
all its instructions Were given.
